Castle of Santenay

If you're into wine, definitely grab a guided tasting tour at the castle. I found it super informative and it really made the experience special. Plus, it's a great way to sample some local wines!

Try to visit on a weekday. I went on a weekend and it was way more crowded, which made it harder to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace.

The castle grounds are beautiful, but I suggest wearing comfortable shoes. I underestimated the walking involved and my feet were killing me by the end.
Philippe Leclerc

I recommend bringing a portable charger. You’ll be snapping pics for social media and you don't want to get stuck with a dead phone in such a beautiful place!

I suggest booking your wine tastings in advance, especially on weekends. It gets super busy, and you don't want to miss out on your top choices.

My advice is to explore the little shop they have. There are some cool local snacks you can pair with your wine later. It's a great way to save some cash!
Domaine Armelle and Bernard Rion

Do bring a picnic and enjoy it in their lovely garden. It’s a perfect spot to soak in the views and relax after the tasting.

I recommend tasting their whites; they were surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting to like them as much as I did.

I suggest trying to book a tasting ahead of time if you can. It can get pretty busy, and you don't wanna miss out!

My advice is to arrive around 10 am; that's when the winery opens. You'll get a quieter experience and more personal attention
Meursault Castle
I suggest you try to book your tasting in advance. I didn't, and ended up waiting a bit longer than expected. Trust me, it’s worth the small fuss to reserve!

Just a heads up—bring some water. The wine tastings are fun but definitely can be a bit dehydrating. I wish I had thought of that while exploring the vineyards.

My advice is to check if they have any seasonal events or festivals happening. I stumbled upon one and it made my visit really special with more local culture involved.

I recommend timing your visit around 2 PM. The crowds start thinning out, so you can enjoy the place more leisurely and take better photos.
Chateau De Pommard

Pro tip: wear comfortable shoes! The winery is larger than it looks, and you'll want to walk around and explore all the beautiful grounds

I think bringing a picnic is a great idea! There are lovely spots to sit outside, and you save on food costs while soaking up the scenery.

I recommend booking the wine tasting in advance. They can get really busy, and I nearly missed out! It's worth it for the insider info you'll get.

I suggest checking their events calendar before you go. I stumbled upon a fantastic wine and cheese pairing class that wasn't advertised very well.
Castle of the Creates

i suggest visiting on a weekday, especially if you can swing a tuesday or wednesday. you'll dodge the big crowds and have more space to explore and take photos!

I recommend checking the times for the wine tastings. I missed one because I thought they were every hour, but they actually had set times. Plan ahead

My advice is to bring a picnic and enjoy it in the gardens. The views are stunning, and it saves you cash instead of the pricey café meals.
Domaine Maltoff

My advice is to definitely bring some snacks along. The tastings are fun, but if you have a few nibbles, it makes the whole experience more enjoyable and you won't spend too much in the shop afterward.
Chateau de Corton Andre

I recommend doing the wine tasting as soon as you arrive. They often offer discounts if you buy a couple of bottles afterward, which can save you some cash and let you take a piece of the experience home!

I suggest visiting in the late afternoon around 4 PM when the sun casts a beautiful glow over the vineyards—perfect for stunning photos! Plus, it’s less crowded, making it a more relaxed experience.
Maison Albert Bichot

My advice is to try and grab a bottle from their shop before you leave, but check for deals... I found a fantastic wine that was on sale, and a local told me I saved a good chunk of change that way

I suggest booking your tasting in advance, especially if you're visiting on the weekend. It can get super busy and you don't wanna miss out on the experience! We had to wait a while but when we finally got in, it was totally worth it.
Louis Jadot

i suggest getting there around 10 am before the crowds hit... the early morning tours have a chiller vibe and you can chat with the staff more... plus, you get to taste the freshest selection of wines
